Elizabeth Forrest

Associate Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I began my legal career as a trainee solicitor in 1993 in a Barnard Castle practice, having obtained my law degree from Newcastle University. In 1995, I transferred to an office in Sedgefield, County Durham, where I practiced for over 27 years, becoming a Partner in 2002 and building a reputation as a general practitioner, and progressing to Head of Conveyancing. I have many years of experience in probate work and preparing Wills as well as residential conveyancing. Buying and selling a home can be stressful and confusing. I guide clients through the process, managing their expectations and providing support and advice throughout. I offer a friendly and personal service to all my clients. I believe in seeing clients for face-to-face appointments whenever possible, but I am also happy to consult with clients by telephone or Zoom if that is more convenient to them. Throughout my career I have had numerous clients who have asked me to advise and assist them time and time again, and many of them have gone on to refer their friends and family to me. In 2022, I returned to practice in Barnard Castle, with McGarry & Co, as an Associate Solicitor, where I aim to provide a welcoming, friendly, professional, and efficient service.

Efficient, friendly & professional

Elizabeth & team have now dealt with conveyancing for us for 2 properties. We were kept fully informed every step of the way - emails, phone calls & face to face appointments were all conducted with the least amount of fuss along with maximum efficiency to expedite the process. Many thanks again for all your work

Great service

McGarry solicitors recently handled our house sale. They were very efficient completing the sale in no time at all. In particular Elizabeth and Angela were always available when we needed to contact them and they kept us fully aware of how the sale was progressing.

Efficient and good communication.

Big thank You to Elizabeth and team for your help in selling my parents house. This was not straight forward and I had been made very wary by the poor performance of a different firm. Elizabeth was cool, calm and collected. Very efficient and communicated well. This took a lot of the stress off myself knowing it was all well managed. Myself and my wife are going back to McGarry's to deal with other matters.
